Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges the need to preserve the Confidential Information that a Party discloses (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the form or manner in which the information is disclosed or learned.

9.2.

Limitations. Each of the Parties agrees and acknowledges that the other Party’s Confidential Information is that Party’s valuable property. Accordingly, the Recipient may use Confidential Information of the Discloser only for the purposes of exercising Recipient’s rights and fulfilling Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement. Recipient shall use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to protect against the unauthorized disclosure or use of Discloser’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar type. Recipient shall disclose Confidential Information of Discloser only to its employees or independent contractors who have a need to know for the above stated purpose, and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than the terms of this Agreement. Any duplication, use, disclosure, or other act or omission by any person that obtains access to or possession of Confidential Information through Recipient that would be a breach of this Agreement if committed by Recipient is deemed a breach of this Agreement by Recipient for which Recipient shall be responsible.

9.3.

Exceptions. Recipient’s obligation under this Agreement to treat information as Confidential Information does not apply to information that: (i) is already known to Recipient at the time of disclosure and was not obtained, directly or indirectly, from Discloser; (ii) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to or use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; (iii) is obtained by Recipient from another source without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed by that source to Discloser; or (iv) is or becomes part of the public domain through no wrongful act of Recipient or any party that obtained the information from Recipient. If Recipient is served with a subpoena or other legal process, court, or governmental request or order requiring disclosure, or is otherwise required by law or securities exchange requirement to disclose, any of Discloser’s Confidential Information, Recipient shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly notify Discloser of that fact and cooperate fully (at Discloser’s expense) with Discloser and its legal counsel in opposing, seeking a protective order, seeking to limit, or appealing the subpoena, legal process, request, order, or requirement to the extent deemed appropriate by Discloser. Recipient may comply with the subpoena or other legal process or requirement after complying with the foregoing sentence, but only to the extent necessary for compliance.

Workhorse warrants and agrees that physical delivery of each Workhorse Vehicle Part (i) shall be rightful and shall not be subject to any import quota, restrictions or regulation preventing or forbidding the importation or sale of such Workhorse Vehicle Part or any component part thereof, and (ii) shall not be subject to any duty, tariff or penalty. The warranties provided herein shall be in addition to all other warranties provided by Workhorse herein or otherwise.

Specific Services.

2.1.

Comprehensive Repair and Maintenance Services. Ryder will offer and provide comprehensive repair and maintenance services for the Workhorse Vehicles, upon the request of an owner of a Workhorse Vehicle (“Owner”). All such repair and maintenance work will be performed in accordance with the technical information and relevant documentation developed in cooperation between the parties.

2.2.

Warranty Service. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Agreement, for all Repair Services performed by Ryder on the Workhorse Vehicles during the Warranty Period, excluding physical damage repairs resulting from, but not limited to, collision, driver behavior, fire or act of God (“Physical Damage”) (all Repair Services other than Physical Damage repairs shall be defined as “Warranty Services”), Workhorse will reimburse Ryder as set forth in Section 4 below. Workhorse Vehicle Parts provided directly by Workhorse for the performance of Warranty Services shall be provided to Ryder without charge. Upon completion of Warranty Services, Ryder will record the name, address and contact details of the Owner, vehicle identification number, description of the work performed and date of service, the Workhorse Vehicle Parts installed, any other documentation customarily provided to other OEMs by Ryder for similar Warranty Services, and all other information reasonably requested by Workhorse. Ryder will retain such records for at least five (5) years. All other Workhorse Vehicle Parts will be sold to Ryder at prices to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, but, in no case, at prices higher than those that Workhorse charges any other buyer or customer. Once the Warranty Period has expired, Ryder shall charge the Owner its prevailing labor and parts rate for such Repair Services. Physical Damage repairs shall be charged to Owner at Ryder’s prevailing rates at all times (both during and after the Warranty Period expires). Ryder intends to perform most of the services directly through one of its locations; however, in instances where it is necessary for Ryder to subcontract any Repair Services (only during the Warranty Period) to support customer uptime or to perform Repair Services not provided directly by Ryder (such as towing), Workhorse will reimburse Ryder for such costs with a **% mark-up, so long as Workhorse grants prior written approval to Ryder for the Repair Services to be provided by the subcontractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, parties agree that no prior written notice will be required to subcontract any Repair Services in the event of an emergency or for over-the-road repair services.

Exhibit B – Repair Services

2.5.

2.9.

Continuous Improvement. Ryder will measure and track vehicle delivery, vehicle uptime, customer satisfaction and repair times for standard tasks performed during the Term. Repair times will be communicated to Workhorse as part of the standard reporting package. Quarterly, Ryder and Workhorse will meet and review data related to vehicle delivery times, vehicle uptime, customer satisfaction and repair times for standard tasks to discuss ways to improve efficiencies, to develop continuous improvement initiatives and to determine a set of Standard Repair Times for common tasks and task strings for warrantable and non-warrantable repairs.

These adjustments will be computed based on the percentage change in the Revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (1967 base period) published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (or any successor index designated by Ryder) (“CPI”) from the base index.

Parts (other than those Ryder has received from Workhorse without charge pursuant to Section 2 of Exhibit A): Ryder will charge Workhorse a **% service fee on the cost of each Proprietary Part provided by Workhorse to Ryder, whether for warranty repair maintenance, to stock inventory, for parts distribution or for any other purpose to cover distribution costs and inventory holding costs. Such fee will be billed to Workhorse on a monthly basis and will be paid within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice.

4.2.

Outside Repairs during Warranty Period: Ryder’s cost plus **%, so long as Workhorse grants prior written approval to Ryder for the outside Repair Services to be provided by the subcontractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, parties agree that no prior written notice will be required to subcontract any Repair Services in the event of an emergency or for over-the-road repair services.

4.3.

Charges for all repairs will be billed after the repair is performed. Workhorse shall pay Ryder for all non-disputed charges under this Exhibit B within thirty (30) days of the date of Ryder’s invoice, without deduction or setoff.
